WCW SuperBrawl Wrestling really seems to be based on around 1991 or 1992

Sega Genesis never had a WCW game to my knowledge, but there was one on the Super Nintendo that had a WCW game and it was called WCW SuperBrawl Wrestling.

WCW SuperBrawl Wrestling had the likes of Dustin Rhodes (face), Vader (face), Rick Rude (heel), Ric Flair (heel), Johnny B. Badd aka Marc Mero (heel), Rick Steiner (face), Surfer Sting (face), Flyin' Brian Pillman (face), Scott Steiner (face), Ron Simmons (face), Ricky Steamboat (face) and Barry Windham (face) as the roster for the game.

Several errors come into play though:
-1) the game was released in 1994 even though it had the roster from around either 1991 or 1992.
-2) Ron Simmons' select screen bio depicts him as being the recent WCW World Heavyweight Champion and the first African-American world champion in wrestling history, so this must be around 1992.
-3) Ric Flair left WCW in 1991 after being fired by Jim Herd for refusing to put over Lex Luger at The Great American Bash, and Flair wasn't even around when Ron Simmons became World Champ. I'm assuming Flair was likely included because he was the Icon of the 1980s NWA so fans were still legit peeved about Flair's 1991 firing from WCW.
-4) If WCW SuperBrawl Wrestling was released in 1994, then the roster was likely outdated given that Rick Rude and Ricky Steamboat retired via career-ending injuries in 1994, The Steiner Brothers left in 1992 after Bill Watts had issues with Scott, Simmons wasn't even World Champ when he had to go back to being a heel around '93-'94, and Windham was in and out of the lineup. Flair was back in WCW by 1993 as a face, but had to turn heel in '94 because of Hulk Hogan.

I'd say it was a poor choice of developer on WCW's part. WWE realeased WWF Raw the same year late 1994. WWF Raw is a considerable better game and featured a very current WWF roster for that time and no one that had left the company.

SuperBrawl is vastly inferior game and its roster is a living testament to that fact. FCI developed SuperBrawl and they had a deal with Nintendo, likely why it didn't see a Genesis release.

It wouldn't have been much work for the developer to tweak the game by moving around cheers or boos to the appropriate heel or face alignment. WCW was run by a huge corporation in Turner, so they probably didn't have much of a vested interest in the game like the Ma and Pa company that is WWE.

A lazy or underpaid developer and a company that didn't care much about the image of its pro-wrestling arm lead to this forgettable wrestling game.

This just goes to show you that SNES could've developed WCW SuperBrawl Wrestling and if DLC existed back in the day,...

,...maybe SuperBrawl would've seen a massive cartridge size boost plus a slightly larger roster with Lex Luger (heel), Larry Zbyszko (heel), Arn Anderson (heel), Nikita Koloff (face), "Stunning" Steve Austin (heel), Jake Roberts (heel), Marcus Bagwell (face), Cactus Jack aka Mick Foley (heel), The Barbarian aka Sione Vailahi (heel), Scotty Flamingo (heel), Diamond Studd (heel), Vinnie Vegas (heel), Mr. Hughes (heel) and several more.
